that's fairly cheap Ape, considering a full system for a supermoto is an easy £800+! lol
is it just the standard exhaust on it at the moment yeh?
what sort of figures are you aiming for with this lot then? 300+?

It's not bad, they retail at some places for over a grand which is mental.
It's the standard system at the moment aye, it isn't that bad but as always, there's better out there.
After the exhaust and remap, it should be near the 300bhp and I dunno what the torque will be, should be well over 300lb ft. I'll have the handling to make sure its not just quick in a straight line.

Heh heh, I decided to accelarate the plans for it so it's ready for Trax.
The discounts are useful, all about who you know. You don't wanna know the lengths I have to go to to get the discount

I'm pleased for you.
Additionally, the black is to keep it subtle and out of view, and the Forge logo is because of some favours that they've done for me.

Got to agree that big intercoolers on show sticking out the front like a pair of goofy teeth do look a bit naff. Painting it black to hide it looks much better.

Intercoolers on show look stupid unless the car is designed with that 'rough' look. The more that's hidden/OEM looking, the better it looks I think.
I'm not a huge fan of 'tarting up' as you put it, so the only things I have done to mine is the front V and badges, which enchances the overall look. But going OTT makes it looks shoddy and overworked.
Look forward to seeing how it evolves Ad.

Car is going back to Labtap on Thursday to have the wheel finish looked at as I'm not happy with it, looks like Heat Fatigue so we'll see, may end up getting them redone completely.
The FMIC is going on next Friday, along with the Engine mounts and Polybushes if we have time. Priority is the FMIC for the day though. The Exhaust will go on as soon as it arrives, with the remap being booked at the earliest opportunity after it's fitted.
I'm aiming to get it ready for Trax, so we'll see. Kinda difficult when I'm 100miles away from it during the week so I can't work on it in the evenings.

Another update
Today we got busy again and fitted the Forge Motorsport FMIC, changed the oil and filter, sorted a wheel, fitted the R8 Oil cap, changed the engine mounts and polybused the lower mount, all in all a good days work
FMIC Fitting:
FMIC Ghost:
R8 Oil Cap:
Engine Mounts and Polybush fitting:
The Engine Mounts have made such a difference, the car vibrates a little more which I was expecting and don't mind. I didn't expect the sloppiness of the engine putting power down to be as dramatically reduced as it has been by the Vibratechnics and Powerflex combo. It's fantastic!
I've not had chance to test the FMIC just yet, although the car sounds different on startup and seems to growl a fair bit more which I like.
Happy days!
Next up, fit the exhaust when it arrives, and then get him mapped. Followed by a Autotech Wavetrac ATB
